Embodiment Construction

[0032] US Patent No. 7,392,559, mentioned above, describes constructions that do not use the orthopedic insert of the present invention. figure 1 with figure 2 Depicted is an intelligent orthotic insole 10 constructed in accordance with the present invention with a heel post stabilizer 11 and a midfoot stabilizer 12 at the bottom layer. Orthosis 13 is constructed according to US Patent No 7,392,559 and rests flat on top of stabilizers 11 and 12 . Insole 10 may also include a plantar support 14 and a forefoot support 15 . A top cover 16 is placed over the entire orthopedic insole 10 . As shown in the figures, the orthopedic insert itself has a certain thickness to allow machining.

[0033] figure 1 with figure 2 Also depicted is the orthopedic insole 10 with integrated sensor pads 17, a capacitive force sensing matrix that provides magnitude and location information about pressure to generate a three-dimensional pressure map. For integration into the insole 10, the fig...

Abstract

An intelligent insole for generating time sensitive information about the pressure on the foot. The insole includes a custom-made, semi-custom, or generically sized orthotic component. The orthotic is laminated with a top cover and an intermediate pressure sensor having an array of capacitive pressure sensors. Signal processing equipment may be embedded in the insole or placed locally with the insole as on the side of a shoe. The processor also can connect to a wireless transmitter for relaying the information to a remote site.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to orthopedic insoles (or insoles), and more particularly to an insole that dynamically generates a pressure map of an individual's foot. Background technique [0002] Over the years a great deal of effort has gone into athletic performance and individual exercise needs. Athletes need to understand the ramifications of changes in their daily training. For example, information about the pressure on the sole of the athlete's foot is important for a cyclist, indicating cycle cadence, power and / or force and distance traveled. For a runner, knowing the force / force exerted, balance and alignment, insole wear due to the repetitive compression of running, cadence and distance traveled are all important parameters. Golfers want to know they are in balance during their golf swing. [0003] Other exercising individuals desire immediate and cumulative feedback on the results of their efforts. In particular, they may want...
